However, after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head and said,"Brother Jianguo, I know you're kind and can't bear to see us orphans and widows suffer. You want to help me, but I can't hurt you. You're not even twenty years old now, and you'll have to get married in the future. If you gossip with me, it'll be difficult for you to get a wife in the future. You want to help me, but I can't hurt you for myself, so forget it.”
Only then did Wu Jianguo remember what era they were in. In this era, reputation was very important. It was also his fault for not being careful. Didn't he see Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu's unclear ending?
For Yang Ni to be able to think so thoroughly about this matter, it was obvious that she was really thinking for herself. If it were Qin Huairu, she would have agreed to it eagerly. She did not care about your reputation. It would be best if you did not get married and help her family for the rest of your life. This was the difference between people.
So he scratched his head and said," Sister Yang, I didn't think it through clearly. How about this? You kill the two chickens, and I'll give you the chicken head, chicken feet, and internal organs. Also, your family's fine grain tickets, meat tickets, and non-staple food tickets. If you don't need them, you can come to me to exchange them for meat or food.”
Yang Ni was very touched when she heard this. She lowered her head so that Wu Jianguo could not see her red eyes and replied," Alright, Jianguo. Thank you." After saying that, she picked up the two pheasants and went back. However, no one saw a drop of tears fall.
At this moment, Nini came up and pulled Wu Jianguo's hand. She said pitifully,"Brother, Nini loves to eat chicken feet.”
Wu Jianguo laughed when he heard that. He rubbed her little head and said,""Our Nini eats drumsticks, not chicken feet.”
Zhao Juan was older, so she could tell that Brother Jianguo was helping the Yang family in disguise. She said to Nini,"Silly Nini, the chicken drumstick is so delicious. Why don't you give it to your sister next time and you eat the chicken butt?”
Nini was dumbfounded when she heard that. She immediately pouted and said,"No, Nini wants to eat chicken drumsticks.”
Wu Jianguo rubbed Nini's little head and laughed out loud when he heard that. When Nini saw her brother laughing at her, she buried her face into Wu Jianguo's arms and refused to come out.
At the Jia family's residence in the middle court.
Jia Zhang-shi sat at the door to collect the soles of her shoes and watched Yang Ni bring two fat pheasants home. She cursed,"Damn that family. He didn't say that he would help our Jia family with the chicken, but he gave it to the poor family in the backyard.”
When Yang Ni returned home, she killed the pheasant and took a bowl to collect its blood. She chopped off the chicken's head and neck, then chopped off the chicken feet and washed them clean, preparing to send them to Wu Jianguo.
Bruiser had been watching. When his mother was done, he asked,"Mom, does Brother Jianguo not want these chicken innards, chicken heads, and chicken feet?”
Yang Ni looked at her thin son and said with heartache,"Yes, you have to call him Uncle Jianguo. You have to remember how good he is to our family. When you grow up, you have to repay him.”
"I'll remember that, Mom." Bruiser nodded.”After saying that, she looked at the chicken head and couldn't move her eyes away. Yang Ni felt sad when she saw it. The child had suffered with her and couldn't eat meat all year round.
"Tiedan, when mom comes back, we'll have meat today too.”
Bruiser licked his lips excitedly.”
Yang Ni carried two chickens that had been killed and passed by the middle court. Qin Huairu, Jia Shi, and Zhang Shi were very envious. The innards of the Century Chicken that could not be satiated were also good things.
Especially the third uncle in the front yard. He was so envious that his eyes were red. Now, his intestines were green with regret. If he had known earlier, he would have gone up to help when Jianguo moved. Who knew, the chicken heads, chicken feet, and chicken offal would all be his now.
in the front yard the army built the kingdom.
Yang Ni placed the pheasant on the table and smiled."Jianguo has already packed it for you. These are tickets that Sister won't be using.”
Wu Jianguo took the tickets and counted them. Then, he nodded and said,"Sister Yang, wait a moment." With that, she went to the kitchen.
After a while, he came out with half a catty of meat and a bag of noodles."Sister Yang, do you think it's enough?"
Yang Ni nodded." Enough, enough. Jianguo, you've given too much."”
Wu Jianguo smiled and said," Sister Yang, these are the meat I got from hunting. I also exchanged the food with meat without spending any money. You don't have to stand on ceremony. In the future, if you don't use the tickets every month, bring them to me. You know that Nini needs to eat fine grain."”
"Thank you, Sister Jianguo." Yang Ni said gratefully.”
Wu Jianguo smiled." Then don't say anything. Hurry up and go back and make a good meal for the child. Tiedan is too thin."”
Originally, Yang Ni wanted to exchange the meat for some food, but when she heard Wu Jianguo's words, she nodded and said,"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll cook a good meal for the child when I get back.”
The people in the courtyard watched Yang Ni bring half a catty of meat home. They were all upset. As the saying goes, it's not the lack of food that makes the exchange uneven. Wu Jianguo only gave Yang Ni meat, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Jia Zhang-shi was even more sarcastic." I didn't expect to hook up with the little widow as soon as I arrived. How shameless."”
" Mom, you don't know the situation," Qin Huairu advised." Don't spout nonsense. If Wu Jianguo hears about it, he'll definitely come after you."”
When Jia Zhangshi heard that Wu Jianguo wanted to settle the score with her, her heart trembled, but she said,"Why would I be afraid of a little brat like him?"
He Yushui couldn't stand it anymore and said,""Aunt Jia, you can't say such things. If you don't have evidence, you'll be sued for slandering someone.”
Jia Zhangshi immediately retorted," What has it got to do with you? Go do what you should be doing. Why do you like that pretty boy?"”
He Yushui's face turned red as she listened. Shazhu was also unwilling. After all, she was his sister, so he said,""Aunt Jia, you're talking nonsense. Do you believe that I'll slap you?”
"Did I say anything wrong?" Jia Zhang-shi immediately threw a tantrum. She hadn't even done anything to him yet, and she, He Yushui, had jumped out to complain about injustice. Could it be that she had fallen for him?”
Qin Huairu saw that Silly Zhu's expression was not looking good and immediately advised,""Zhu Zi, don't take it to heart. My mother is old and muddle-headed.”
Jia Zhangshi wanted to say something, but Qin Huairu said in a low voice,""If you don't want to eat lunch boxes anymore, you can offend the He siblings.”
Jia Zhang-shi immediately shut her mouth when she heard the sound of the lunchbox. She turned around and went home while cursing.
He Yushui stomped her feet and said to Silly Zhu,"Look, this is the family you're helping."”
Shazhu's face darkened." Old Madam Jia is so hateful. It's Sister Qin who has suffered. How did she end up with such an evil mother-in-law?"
He Yushui sighed when he saw this. His silly brother was hopeless. He glared at Silly Zhu and turned to go home.
On this day, Xu Damao came knocking on the door. Wu Jianguo smiled and said,"Brother Da Mao, why are you here? Is there something?”
Xu Damao entered the house and sat down." Jianguo, my brother is getting married tomorrow. I originally wanted to have a few tables in the restaurant, but you know that we don't advocate extravagance and waste now, so we can only have a meal with our own family. You have to come."”
"This is a joyous occasion. I'll definitely be there." Wu Jianguo smiled.”
Xu Damao laughed and said,"Alright, I'll definitely drink with you when the time comes."”
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was November. The sky was filled with heavy snow, dyeing the entire city white. The pedestrians on the streets were all wrapped up tightly. Even so, their footsteps were extremely fast. They wished they could go home early to warm up.
It had been almost half a year since he came to the Siheyuan. Wu Jianguo's reputation in the courtyard was also very good. It was also because of Yang Ni, who was the back-up. Ever since Yang Ni explained the source of the meat, those poor families came to exchange for meat. Wu Jianguo also accepted it happily.
He did not lack meat, but he did lack tickets. In this day and age, he needed tickets to go anywhere.
Unknowingly, Wu Jianguo's reputation was getting better and better. Of course, Yi Zhonghai did not realize how this matter affected him.
Yan Fugui didn't take any advantage at all and had been anxious for the past few months.
